* paraminfo_get_equal_hashops
- * Determine if param_info and innerrel's lateral_vars can be hashed.
- * Returns true the hashing is possible, otherwise return false.
+ * Determine if the clauses in param_info and innerrel's lateral_vars
+ * can be hashed.
+ * Returns true if hashing is possible, otherwise false.
*
- * Additionally we also collect the outer exprs and the hash operators for
- * each parameter to innerrel. These set in 'param_exprs', 'operators' and
- * 'binary_mode' when we return true.
+ * Additionally, on success we collect the outer expressions and the
+ * appropriate equality operators for each hashable parameter to innerrel.
+ * These are returned in parallel lists in *param_exprs and *operators.
+ * We also set *binary_mode to indicate whether strict binary matching is
+ * required.
+ *
+ * A complication is that innerrel's lateral_vars may contain nullingrel
+ * markers that need adjustment. This occurs if we have applied outer join
+ * identity 3,
+ * (A leftjoin B on (Pab)) leftjoin C on (Pb*c)
+ * = A leftjoin (B leftjoin C on (Pbc)) on (Pab)
+ * and C contains lateral references to B. It's still safe to apply the
+ * identity, but the parser will have created those references in the form
+ * "b*" (i.e., with varnullingrels listing the A/B join), while what we will
+ * have available from the nestloop's outer side is just "b". We deal with
+ * that here by stripping the nullingrels down to what is available from the
+ * outer side according to outerrel->relids.
+ * That fixes matters for the case of forward application of identity 3.
+ * If the identity was applied in the reverse direction, we will have
+ * innerrel's lateral_vars containing too few nullingrel bits rather than
+ * too many. Currently, that causes no problems because setrefs.c applies
+ * only a subset check to nullingrels in NestLoopParams, but we'd have to
+ * work harder if we ever want to tighten that check.
